What you are saying is that the way YOU want to have Islam defined is as a religion of peace. Islam is not a centralized religion with standard dogma like the Catholic Church. The only way we can define Islam is through the way the various Mullahs and sects define it and the Koran. In many parts of the Islamic world, particularly in the areas where the Wahabi interpretation of Islam exists, it's anything but a religion of peace.
